< ul >
< li > Bootstrap compiles faster ~6x faster with Less compared to Sass< / li >
< li > Less is written in JavaScript, making it easier to us to dive in and patch compared to Ruby with Sass.< / li >
< li > Less is more; we want to feel like we're writing CSS and making Bootstrap approachable to all.< / li >

< p > As an extension of CSS, LESS includes variables, mixins for reusable snippets of code, operations for simple math, nesting, and even color functions.< / p >
